The American reusable spacecraft Crew Dragon of SpaceX, with Russian cosmonaut Kirill Peskov and three astronauts, has successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS).
Docking to the Harmony module of the American segment of the ISS took place at 07:04 Moscow time, as evidenced by the official NASA broadcast. The flight time was more than 28 hours.
The Falcon 9 launch vehicle with the Crew Dragon spacecraft was launched from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral (Florida) on Friday. The Crew-10 mission crew, in addition to Kirill Peskov, includes American NASA astronauts Anne McClain (commander) and Nicole Ayers, as well as Japanese JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi. They will spend about six months in orbit.
Earlier on Saturday night, Roscosmos reported that the spacecraft's entry into the target orbit was normal.
The Crew-9 crew, which is already on board the ISS, will return to Earth in the coming days. It includes NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, as well as Russian cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov. Their return will depend on weather conditions in the landing area off the coast of Florida.
